Do you have a Blendtec
If you don’t have one of these blenders then you can still make the soup. I will give directions for both, I promise. And for an extra special treat, try making your own taco seasoning.
Nothing beats an easy hot, homemade soup on a cold winter’s day. This Tortilla Soup comes together very fast and the Taco Twists couldn’t be any easier. I think I made enough for for 6 people and my family of 4 (which includes two small kiddos) ate the whole thing. There weren’t any leftovers…which I know John was hoping for. He just loves taking homemade leftovers to work for lunch.
Soup:
Place first 10 ingredients in blender. Blend on high speed for several minutes until soup is hot. Add in black beans and crushed tortilla chips. Blend on low speed for about 20-30 seconds. Serve hot with additional shredded cheese and chips and sour cream
*To make without blender, put first 10 ingredients in a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree ingredients. Add in additional ingredients and lightly puree until desired texture.
Twists:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll can of crescent roll dough and lightly press seams together. Gently roll dough with a rolling pin, increasing the size of the rectangle just an inch or so all the way around. Sprinkle dough with taco seasoning and cheddar cheese.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 8 long strips. Pick up each strip and carefully twist 4-5 times and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown.

This looks amazing! Great presentation!
Love your blog! Nice finding you! Visit me at: Stew In My Juice (my-greek-cooking.blogspot.com)
Sounds yummy! I wish I could get my family to like Mexican food. The taco twists remind me of the treats sold at Costco though theirs are covered in cinnamon sugar.

Love tortilla soup! This looks good…I’ll be trying it one of these cold winter days.
Those taco twists look great! I usually make something similar with tortilla shells, but that looks tastier. Thanks for the tip!

Awesome! I can even entice my non-soup eaters with those taco twists!
I seriously need to buy a new blender so I can make this now! My last one chewed itself up

Well now I know I will definitely be making taco twists the next time we have tortilla soup! They sound awesome and I will make my own taco seasoning too. It has to be so much better than the commercially made pkgs.
Brilliant! Soup in the blender…easy, quick and delicious! Rsvp twists sound good too!
Oooh Kidlet is so gonna love the twists. Got creative juices flowing…garlic/parm, curry/parm, season salt/pizza cheese, pizza seasoning/cheese, lemon pepper/provalone, garlic powder/swiss…
I love those taco twists! What a great idea to go with the soup. I’m definately pinning this one for later
